Southeastern Regional Football Combine Training and Testing Camp

A combine is a great way to showcase your playing abilities for  coaches and recruiters.  In order to catch a coach or recruiter’s  eyes, you must be at the top of your abilities and perform each drill better than your competition.  Yet, many athletes show up to their combine test—their big audition—unprepared and untrained for the drills.

 

Our Combine Prep Camp will make you an EXPERT at actual combine tests.  Our camp is based off of the exact techniques we utilize to train our elite athletes—those players who have successfully mastered the test and achieved their ultimate goal—college ball and the NFL.

ATTENTION: Football players, trainers, parents & coaches...

"Are You Ready To Gain Up To 5-15 Reps Of Explosive Power On Your Bench Press, Shave .6 Seconds Off Of Your 40 Time, Add 6-8 inches On Your Vertical Jump And Finally Get The Recognition And Respect Of Football Coaches, Scouts And Your Teammates?"

How much could you or your athletes benefit from a speed, strength & conditioning program that gives you a step-by-step football training blueprint for developing brutal strength, explosive power and blazing speed?

Question: 

Have you ever felt like there is way too much information on strength & conditioning, and that you don’t even know where to begin? Well, I hear that a lot.

After attaining three degrees in the field, multiple certifications, and have interned with some of the best strength and speed coaches in the country, I have surmised that there is no magic bullet, no shortcuts… just science, provable, reproducible and reliable science. I have come up with a progressive system of screening, assessment and evaluation that will discover everyone’s weak link in their efforts to get bigger, faster, stronger and less injury prone (and it’s never what you think). I’m trying to not speak riddles, but if throwing some weight training, some protein powder and some cool drills or the latest training ”toy” at the problem would solve all your performance issues, we all would be the next Michael Jordan or Ladainian Tomlinson.

It takes a trained eye to know what to look for.

Needless to say, players, coaches and parents have been inundated with commercials, info-products, so-called “experts”, infomercials, equipment companies, former pro-athletes (just because you were a great athlete, does not make you a great coach), and extraneous information that it has made everyone a bit suspicious of anyone claiming to have the answers. Here’s the is skinny on the subject, I have been in the trenches for 25 years (competitive athletics from junior high through college till now) and have studies, implemented and experimented on every program that has come down the pike. I have made every mistake that one has made with program design because it was:

1.    The next best thing

2.    An pro athletes used to do this program

3.    My favorite college used this program

4.    Some magazine or website said it was state-of-the-art

5.    This routine only works if you purchase this piece of equipment

6.    And so on…

So here is the top four myths I hear everyday as a coach of athletes of all levels and ages…

Myth #1:
Athletes can get faster by improving sprint mechanics and speed drills...

Let's face it - athletes today are plain-old weak!

More often than not, parents walk into my gym and demand that I teach their son or daughter to get faster. This is all well and good, but when I simply ask Junior (who is 6'1 - 205lbs) to perform a bodyweight squat and he can't do it without rounding his low back and keeping his chest up - I have to tell mom that it can’t be done!

The foundation for football training and all sports movements - including sprinting, is a solid, unshakeable foundation of STRENGTH (and flexibility). Not only must you be strong enough to move your own bodyweight, you've got to be able to do it with other athletes lurching themselves at you... and you had better be able to do it quickly!

Also, Relative Body Strength is the single most important quality to develop for increased power and speed. In a nut shell, this means that the athlete that can move his own bodyweight with the greatest ease will generally be the faster athlete.

Teaching sprint technique drills speed drills to a weak athlete - is a waste of time!

As far as technique is concerned think about this. If you are a running back carrying the ball towards the end zone with 12, 200+ lb. behemoths trying to rip your head off, are you thinking:

A) Keep my elbows "tight" and hands loose.
B) Reach with my heel forwards and pull back against the turf.
C) Grunt!... Ugh, *pant* *pant*... arggg! CRASH!!!

"Get stronger, and the rest will follow!" - This doesn't mean that we don't speed train, it simply means that we begin with the foundations of speed and build from there.

Let us teach you the CORRECT way to perform these lifts so that your athlete:

1.    Gets really STRONG

2.    Gets really EXPLOSIVE

3.    Get really STABLE

4.    Gets really FAST

5.    Gets really MUSCULAR

6.    And above all…gets really INJURY PREVENTIVE!

Myth #2: 
An Increase In One’s Vertical Jump Is A Matter Of Just Performing More Squats

The Vertical Jump is probably THE best test of one’s explosive ability than any other test available. That’s why it has stayed a staple in the testing process of many athletes, many sports at all levels. But the way some one launches into the ascension phase and landing phase can tell you a novel of aspects of the athlete’s real ability to generate power.

An athlete’s ability to dunk a ball is an example of power. But not the same as a Vertec Vertical Jump (don’t be fooled by those “combines” that use a Just Jump Mat to test your athlete’s vertical jump) This is the EXACT same vertical jump testing device the NFL uses in its testing of football’s elite athletes. But, the ability to run up to hoop and do a lay-up or even a slam dunk, is nowhere near the same jump mechanics as the one the NFL calls for. We show you the difference between the two.

At the ICON Performance Football Combine Training & Testing Camp, you will learn:

• We also show you that the way you land tell you a lot about the way you jump (or should jump)
• We show you how important arm mechanics are in the jump (and it’s not what you are thinking)
• We also show you how to determine which muscles we need to strengthen and which muscles we need to shut down

Myth #3: 

40 Yard Dash Speed Is Just A Matter of Running More:

The granddaddy of all sports performance tests…the 40 yard dash. So important to American Football, we won’t even think about converting it to meters!

This test is so important we have given it the highest priority in our program. Speed training for the combines is crucial to making it to the next level. Whether it has anything to do with your position, it doesn’t matter. Because in the end, when it comes down to a head coach picking between you and another player, in the back of his head, he’s thinking… which one is faster?

Nature of the beast. Nothing you can do about it. So, what do we do about it? We work on every single stride of that 40 yard dash till it’s perfect and maximized to its utmost potential. Whether you are a 300 lb lineman or a 150 wide receiver, the 40 yard dash could get coaches, recruiters and scouts looking in your direction that never looked before.

At the ICON Performance Football Combine Training & Testing Camp, you will learn:

• ·        What is the weak link of your 40? We have six totally different tests used by Olympic Track coaches that will tell you EXACTLY what we need to work on.
• ·        Each 10 yards timed out on a split time can tell us exactly what to proscribe in the weight room for enhanced speed.
• ·        Video analysis is a great tool for speed mechanics breakdowns. But what part of the arm-leg cycle is most important? We tell you what to look for.

Myth #4: 

In Order For One To Bench More Reps, One Must Practice With Their Assigned Rep Max Weight:

The Bench Press. The King of Upper Body Movements. This has been a staple in football weight rooms since the days of the invention of the barbell. Football coaches love this exercise as it mimics the act of blocking. That’s how it ended up on the “must-have” list of tests for the football combine.

At the ICON Performance Football Combine Training & Testing Camp, you will learn:

• ·        Just a simple breathing technique can make the difference in 3-5 reps alone. We show you how.
• ·        Foot placement is critical to bar speed, bar path and stroke distance. We show you how to place the feet correctly.
• ·        Elbow path is absolutely of the most importance. We show you how to shift the stress of the bar away from the small joints and muscles and take advantage of the larger, more powerful ones.

These are just some of the issues / topics we will be covering at the Training and Testing Camp:

• Why there's so much conflicting advice on Strength & Speed training for football and how you can save money by learning to instantly recognize hidden marketing hype, false advertising, phony programs, equipment and B.S.
• Why 95% of all football strength training programs fail... and the exact, detailed steps you must take for your team to be in the successful 5% (and stay there!)
• Why most mass gaining diets don’t work for the typical high school and college athlete and simple steps you can take to ensure that your athletes are eating for strength and size EVERY DAY. 
• A revolutionary new approach to weight training and speed programming that will break through any muscle building, strength or speed plateau – and why your current program may be making your athletes weaker and fatter!
• How to program your teams ATTITUDE & INTENSITY to create a D1 weight room atmosphere in even the smallest school. 
• The #1 reason why most football coaches cannot take control of their teams weight training programs and produce consistent results year after year. 
• Over 100 pictures and descriptions of exercises and how to coach them effectively. 
• What supplements are complete baloney and how to keep your athletes focused on the foundations of nutrition for performance enhancement and added functional muscle mass they can use on the field.
• The only 3 supplements that I “recommend” (I tend to use that word lightly) your athletes use for maximum size, speed and strength production. 
• A simple method to create a "farm team" of younger athletes that will already be strong, fast and intense once they reach your program. 
• The secret method that you can teach your young athletes that will get their testosterone and growth hormone to sky rocket - naturally! 
• The #1 most effective way to get your athletes FOCUSED and PUMPED up for practice and weight training... after spending 8 hours in the class room. 
• Over 10 brand-spankin’ new 'Strength-Speed' exercises that will skyrocket your team towards being the fastest – most reactive athletes in the conference. 
• How the foods that your players eat affect their thoughts, behavior and their results on the field.
• An intriguing look at Olympic Weightlifting, Power lifting, Strongman Conditioning, Bodybuilding and Sports Specific Training and which one produces the best results. 
• What 99% of strength coaches do not understand about stretching – this one section could save your team from unnecessary injuries and pain.
• Learn the ONLY way prevent shoulder and neck injuries and it starts with this little known technique.
• Why you'll never get the whole truth about health supplements and training routines from magazines and internet sites.
• Ancient secrets for allowing your body to recover from strenuous workouts quickly.
• Why athletes who don't sleep are generally fatter, slower and weaker and how to ensure that your athletes are getting enough sleep every night.
• Avoid unnecessary injuries and surgeries with corrective stretches and exercises.
• The truth about cardio and why it will make your athlete skinny and weak.
• Everything you ever wanted to know about in-season training parameters vs. off-season training.
• The psychology of strength training success... Follow this "secret mental mastery formula" and you'll be adding booster rockets to your teams success, on and off of the football field or weight room.

And believe me... this is just the tip of the iceberg. ICON Performance’s Football Combine Training System is so much more than just a 'football prep training program'- it's a complete system for sure-fire success - possibly the most comprehensive training program ever developed! No hype, no B.S., no gimmicks - just the FACTS you need to know for your athlete to start winning scholarships - NOW!

But How Much Is This All Going To Cost Me?

You think it's going to be expensive. I get that. How could you not think it when you see all you're getting, and compare it to what you get elsewhere?

But I can honestly tell you it'll cost much less than it's worth. And far, far less than you think.

Let's first talk about what it's NOT going to cost...

$12,480 for a personal trainer. It's true. $80 per session... 3 times a week... that's a yearly bill of $12,480... Hardly worth it, especially considering that most personal trainers know NOTHING about strength and conditioning for football or how to train for increased speed and power.

But you won't pay
anything close to that!

More than $2000 on gym equipment. Just flip through the exercise equipment magazines that come in the mail and you'll see endless ads for sports training workout gismos, rubber band contraptions and "super high-tech" machines that can cost you a fortune of more than $5000.

Most of this equipment will do nothing more than drain your bank account while actually delivering weaker results than you could obtain using basic, straightforward free weight equipment, and my program.

But you aren't going to pay $1,000,
or even $500!

How about something as low as $280? A 2-year subscription to a bodybuilding magazine can cost you 140 bucks. Let's say you only got 2 subscriptions... That's 140 wasted dollars right there.  

Why wasted? Because virtually all major muscle magazines are owned by supplement companies and are created for the sole purpose of pushing more useless pills and powders on you that you don't really need.

Plus... unless you're juiced up on steroids and hormones, the workout programs that you read about will NOT be effective! Almost all of those programs are submitted by "chemically enhanced", drugged up pro bodybuilders who have never played a down of football in their life.

Not even close.

Trust me, if you're looking to maximize your speed, muscle gains and football performance in the shortest period of time possible, then mark my words...

 You do NOT need an overpriced, full-of-himself personal trainer...

 You do NOT need any special "breakthrough" supplements...

 You do NOT need to sift through endless books and magazines...

 You do NOT need any fancy high-tech training equipment...

 You do NOT need to put in countless slave hours in the gym...

 

Just $47.00!

So don't hesitate.
